Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

"I have heard the sunset song of the birches,"

by Stephen Crane

"I have heard the sunset song of the birches,

A white melody in the silence,

I have seen a quarrel of the pines.

At nightfall

The little grasses have rushed by me

With the wind men.

These things have I lived," quoth the maniac,

"Possessing only eyes and ears.

But you --

You don green spectacles before you look at roses."
